The coming-of-age story of a girl left behind in the mountains.
The Qiao family lives in the mountains of Sichuan. There are three sons and one daughter, all from the same household, yet each takes a completely different path in life.
Qiao Xin is the least significant member of this big family. Her growing-up years are full of conflicts over wealth and poverty, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tensions, clashes between sisters-in-law, parent-child conflicts, the confusion of young love, and disputes over the bride price when she gets married. Through it all, she grows into herself, eventually finding love, a career, and a good life.
This story is based on real life. Many readers will recognize themselves or people around them in its characters, at least to some extent.
I wanted to lay out these many issues for people to discuss, so I wouldn't have to ponder them all alone.
It's very beautiful, very special and real.
It's very interesting. I guess it may be the author's personal experience. The author is a very good girl, very brave and upright.
Very good, the reality of the countryside, the mother's strength, the father's helplessness, it is really very real! Recommended
